The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that generative AI does not undermine creative industries.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Government published a consultation on Copyright and AI in December 2024. It seeks views on how to create clarity in this area, to promote growth and investment in both the creative industries and AI sector.

Through this consultation, the Government aims to ensure that right holders in the creative industries can control and be remunerated for the use of their work, while supporting the development of world-leading AI models in the UK.

The Government recognises that this is a complex area and welcomes all views and evidence to help shape its thinking.
